-Hello, pleased to meet everyone! On the right above is my beautiful
daughter, a lovely young lady, and whom I am so very proud of for many
reasons. Yes, I'm proud because she is my daughter, but I'm proud of the
person she has become. Of all I've done in my life and with my life,
being her mother has been the most rewarding and I wouldn't trade her or
being her mom for anything in this world. I have tried to teach her
much, but she has taught her mother so much more along the way. If there
seems to be horses popping up around here frequently, it is likely due
to the fact my daughter and I both share a very strong love for them.-
My name is *Artsie_ladie* or Artsieladie online and in many places, but
my real name, however, is Sharon Donnelly. I am a natural born "artist"
and I've worked in many mediums of traditional and of course in the
digital medium. Besides being an artist, I'm a writer of stories,
poetry, and quotes. I am a musician and photographer, as well as a
"Photo Editor". Also, I am an activist against the wrongs in the world,
including but not limited to animal abuse and neglect. -
Virtually any form of creativity is the core of who I am with a
relentless and limitless amount of passion thrown in. I don't do
anything I elect to get involved with halfway. It's all or nothing and
anything worth doing is worth doing it right or not at all. But rather
than write extensively here, anyone who cares to read more about me,
they can at "About Artsieladie". -
"Artsieladie is Online" in many other places across the Internet. Before
contacting me, please refer to "Contact Artsieladie" for specific
guidelines and criteria I require when contacting yours truly. I may be also contacted at "Artsieladie On Facebook".-
About the usage and sharing of my work, please see the footer on every page, and my "Public Notice".But the basics are:-

~ "Dreams can hold the key to the true desire of one's heart." ~ "It is through our most trying and difficult times, we find our truest friends." ~ "Recipe for happiness: Minimise expectations, maximise gratitude." ~ "The path of least resistance, is also the path of least reward." ~ "When one invests in the happiness of others, they 'double their investment'."

-My quotes may be shared, but they must be done so with my name accompaniedwith every quote of mine shared.-

A little mention about the author of the original photo and owner of the gorgeous German Shepherd, Buddie, Rich Patt.-Yours truly has been friends with him for awhile now, years. Rich is a
person of integrity, values, and doing what is right. If he sells and
pro-
motes a product and/or service, it's because he believes in what it
does, stands for, and so forth, and I stand behind and support Rich.-Since Rich sells and promotes "Nerium", a great and revolutionary skin
care product, it IS a great product. I haven't used the product as of yet, but I know friends of mine who do, and my friends who
do, swear by it as well. I just need to get on the stick, stop procrastinating, and
try it too, myself. -To contact Rich Patt: "Rich and Nerium", "Rich On Facebook", "Rich: Nerium Facebook Page", "Rich On YouTube".

"The Tree Of Freedom"-There is a stately tree that stands proudly in the park.Every day another chip is taken from its protective bark.Days goes by, weeks, months, even years,As the sound of the axe falls on closed, deafened ears.

Til one day the stately tree topples to the ground,Its mighty thud is heard for miles and miles around.As the people gather 'round, wondering why it fell,There is a whisper in the breeze, a story it must tell.

"The tree, majestically it stood, so mighty and so tall,Its value and its worth, for granted, taken by one and all.People never noticed as it was chipped away,As each tiny chip was taken day after day.Not until the tree could no longer stand,Have the people noticed its value, just how grand."

Like the stately tree that is chipped away,Our rights and our freedoms, we're losing every day.The government swings the axe as we pay no mind,Each tiny chip taken, while we remain blind.

As the axe hits its mark, LISTEN to the sound,SEE the chips fly and fall to the ground.Now fast forward this, multiplied, ahead,The math is very simple to do in one's head.

#Love "Unreturned Love"#Love-Although my love is real, deep, and very true,
I cannot seem to break down your wall to reach you.
Still reeling from the pain of a previous love gone bad,
The entrance to your heart is closed, leaving me so very sad.
This ache in my heart cuts just like a knife,
As I watch you struggle through your own strife.
Since you cannot strike against the cause of your grief,
Instead, I've become the one being used for your relief.
I'd gladly wipe away all your pain and your sorrow,
In hopes we could then be free to love through each tomorrow.
But here I am standing on the outside looking in,
Trying to make sense of a loss that should've been a win.
To describe how I feel, there are no words to say,
And would it really matter if I said them anyway?
I know you cannot see the pain you're causing me.
Your own inner turmoil holds you captive in pure agony.
So I'm left helpless to watch in dismay,
As you fight the demons day after day.
Love can only live in a heart that receives,
When given by a heart that in love, believes.-~Artsieladie, aka Sharon Donnelly, aka Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly

-About site content, safety, privacy and right to, and sharing knowledge/information, etc..-

-I will strive on my sites to keep the content to be
acceptable viewing for all ages. I do not believe that young children
need to be or should be exposed to everything. Content or material that
is unsuitable for young children, doesn't necessarily have to be bad,
per se, but simply not suitable for them at a young age. As one example,
artistic nudity is just as beautiful a form of art as another, but a
youngster needs not to 'have' to see it.-However, even though my aim is to keep my sites with this
in mind, parents and guardians must always remember that links lead to
more links, and so, links that are harmless can and often do lead to
links that contain material that is questionable. Therefore, I always
highly recommend that children are on the Internet always with a
responsible adult's supervision not only to guide children, but to be
there to explain and give 'honest and complete' answers to their
questions should they stumble upon content that perhaps they aren't
mature enough to have seen. I say honest and complete, because sugar
coating what they may see or even vague, evasive explanations will not
satisfy the 'natural curiosity' of a child. If a child doesn't receive
complete and honest answers from people they trust and they look up to
to provide them, they will seek them from others and the 'others' may
not have the 'best' interests of the child in mind.-Please also bear in mind, the Internet is a wonderful
world for children to explore and benefit from, as well as adults, but
as with most everything, there are good, bad, and in between places and
content. Teach your children to be safe online and to take precautions,
and combine this with responsible, adult supervision, and they will be
able to benefit from it immensely and have fun doing so. I plan to add
some useful and helpful information along these lines in the future.-Although I believe in sharing knowledge or information
about almost any topic, personal and private information of ourselves
that each of us has the right to decide whether to disclose or not is an
exception. Everyone has the right to privacy and someone who invades
this without the consent of that person, exhibits the lack of morals and
respect, and openly displays their ignorance of the sanctity of human
rights and a person's right to privacy.-As far as other information in regards to learning to
broaden our knowledge base, I believe in sharing, passing along to
others, so that all may benefit by doing so. This is why I plan on
adding whatever helpful information and links to, as I can. Anyone
interested in helping me add to this endeavor, please feel free to relay
this to me and I will be glad to also give the credit to the
contributor.-I try to respect everyone's cultures, customs, beliefs,
etc. as I would want my own to be. We are all human and in this respect
we are ONE, but it's the diversity among us that gives life flavour for
if we were all the same, just think how monotonous life would be.-
